Life.

All biotic things die. Humans are also obviously biotic lol. When my time during old age comes Ive accepted that numerous of other people have also passed away from old age just as I will be then passing away from old age.

I always thought Id live forever or whatever cause Im a teetotaler that works out. That is not going to happen obvioualy lol.

lol totally.

But anyways Ive heard a few stories from people before they passed away and kt made me realize Im human just like them cauae some of their stories had situations that I also went through. I realize that Im a human just like all other humans and just like all other humans ill eventually get older and slower and not as sharp and Ill also also pass away . Probably Ill pass away alone as well...just like most other humans before me did too.

My mom and dad are both on dementia slopes, but at different stages and for different reasons.

Like, anything I actually need from them, in the way of answers around super-stressful things in childhood, I just know it's too late. They either can't or claim they can't remember, and we can't hold them to answering the tough questions.

So it's all about spending time with the person they are today, as the other person's already gone. We're never gonna find out anything critical now, so just enjoy the time we have left as their melons slowly become jello.
